How does a person act proud and humble at the same time?

Can I toot my horn early? My DD just asked me how much it would cost to make a quilt? Who's knows? I never keep up with cost. It's for an auction at her Ladies Group at her church. I told her I could donate one, but she said they didn't need it until March so I'll make her one in pink and brown the groups colors. I am just so happy that my DD goes to church.

It's a great question, bc when i first came to QuBoard, I was so used to being very, very modest, and saw ppl being very comfortable with their talents and hard work.
I haven't quite got a handle on not being sensitive about showing my stuff, bc although I can whip out a little dress, a tote, a bear, etc...things I am used to...showing quilts amongst quilters still scares me.
I know it shouldn't, and when I see others stuff that they claim a flaw in, I just think it's endearing...I know how hard they worked...why can't I do the same about mine? :roll:
You are doing a great job of giving me a good example, edi...lead on! :D
There are sections in the newspaper for these things, and ppl eat it up. Somebody really should call them. Hope your son visits soon too. :D

Edie..........Congrats....how great you must feel....
My group of quilters have been making pillowcases for the juvenile victims of cancer. We make them, take them to a LQS, who in turn, deliver them to the hospitals.
If anyone is interested in the project, the website is....
www.conkerrcancer.org
Below is a photo of my group on our first trip delivering cases to the LQS.....and remember that a day at a new quilt shop can be a big + to our main cause....after discovering all that they had to offer, we made a day of shopping shops along the route home.
Again...congrats on your quilt...I hope that they make lots more $$$$$.
